Sueño de Amor (SdA) #82. Friday July 8, 2016. There’s A New Coupling In Sueñolandia And It’s A Match Made in Blah!

Prince Charming and Dora the Explorer had a kid and he is getting married in Sueñolandia next week.
At a glance

-- Baby Luca is Luca’s baby. Anastasia jubilates while Pato pouts. 
-- Cristina is a bore. Ricardo is a ho. 
-- There is a double boda next week. 

A closer look 

The DNA test results confirm that Baby Luca is Luca’s son. Anastasia is overjoyed and starts making demands already: 
  • She wants to register the kid, because she didn’t think to register him before dumping him on her mother QEPD. 
  • She wants to baptize the kid, because even though the walls bleed any time she enters a church, she still has a spiritual side. 
  • She wants to introduce the kid into society, because she needs everyone and their grandma to know he is Luca de la Colina’s son. 
  • She wants Luca to take the kid off her hands for a while, because she says she hasn’t gotten a good night’s sleep in over a week. In reality, what she meant to say is that it’s been a while since she roamed the city at night stealing other people’s essences.

Sueño de amor, Ep. 81 (7.7.16) Life is unfair, while some experience full blown cancer others enjoy full blown romances.

Recycling
Cristina Vélez Valderrama, the firewoman of education test the Gallos to see if they are worth the scholarship. After all, as in bad shape as the Palacios is right now, it will always be way better than Vasconcelos. Margarita encounters the kids on their way out and after greeting them inquires her friend why is she looking so gorgeous. 
-Something happened since the last time we saw each other, right? Tell me, tell me... there's that spark in your eyes!
-I have found my daughter! With the help of a pretty handsome man, by the way!
-Yes? Great! And how is she? And how is that bastard of your ex husband?
-IN JAIL! -answers Ricardo from the open door claiming that their chat could be heard all the way to the patio.
Margarita melts herself (se deshace en halagos) in compliments to the Bombón and excuses herself to leave this two tórtolos (love doves) alone. The way you look at each other could make this office get on fire! Never fear my dear, the firewoman is here...
-How do you know Margarita? -asks Cristina
-Oh well, it is a very long story that I better tell you tonight with luxury of details...
-Tonight?
-Yes, I have plans for you... wink!

Esperanza tells Ernesto how worried she is and how bad that is in her condition because Pato HAD TO FINALLY ATTEND SCHOOL and to her bad luck, she will also be tested and she didn't study and she doesn't know the formulas by heart.

Ernesto only hears a buzz and sees Esperanza's lips moving, because his head has its own problems, somebody betrayed him and he needs to tie that end asap.

Yago, #31, Thursday 7/7/16: Buried Hopes

Lucio wanted everything that was Omar's. Well, it's happening now. Not only did he get Omar's girl, Omar's son, and Omar's family - he also got Sara's betrayal and a prison sentence. How sweet! Will he also die in a prison riot? Or will he be befriended by a helpful mobster who's willing to leverage Lucio's rage for his own purposes? I can't wait to find out!

It must be the next day, because Sara is wearing a different dress. Lucio's been sentenced to six years and a fine of 120 "salarios" for his fraud. I don't know how much a "salario" is, but I'll bet that 120 of them add up to more than a slap on the wrist. He stares at Sara in disbelief as he's marched out to the waiting van. She stares right back at him.

As the prison guards shove him around, Lucio reflects that this is especially tough coming from the person to whom he's dedicated the best years of his life. The other inmates welcome him with a ticker-tape parade (okay, a shower of trash) as he's brought to his cell. Lucio muses that betrayal has always been at his side; it has the face of an angel, and the name of a woman. He adds, somewhat redundantly, that its name is Sara. Weeping, Lucio tears Sara's visage off of the family photo he was allowed to keep.

Yago #30. Tuesday July 5, 2016. A Bunch Of People Not Careful What They Wish For

Sweetie, it's a misunderstanding! Your boyfriend fell on top of me by accident and the unintentional friction unzipped his pants! This is all very unfortunate!

Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot. 

Fidel’s men encircle Camilo’s men and point their weapons at Camilo. To everyone’s surprise, Selma arrives to the rendezvous. She has a gun and threatens to shoot Camilo for killing her daughter, Fabiana. Camilo wants to have a chat: “You’re on the wrong side! Let me talk to you first!” Selma is determined to kill Camilo but Fidel convinces her to lower her gun and he takes her away. The Mexican standoff is over.

Sueño de amor #80 Wed. July 6, 2016

Here they are: just the facts . . . ;)

So, we will pick up at Ricardo's, with Cristina left breathless after the kiss. They talk about where the kids are and about her ex being in jail. She asks if anything happened to him Ricardo. He assures her that nothing happened. He suggests they call each other "tú" after all they have been through. She isn't too sure about that and prefers "usted" so he does not forget she is his boss. He assures her he won't forget. (She is serious!!!) He just chuckles and walks away. As he turns she notices the blood at the nape of his neck. He had forgotten all about that. She makes him sit down and goes to get first aid items out of the medicine chest so she can treat Ricardo's neck wound. He just sits smiling waiting for her to come back.

At Margarita's, Kristel tells her family all about her wanting to get away from it all by goimg to study abroad in Barcelona if she gets a scholarship at one particular university she has applied to. Mario tries to dissuade her saying that you don't make a big decision like that so quickly. Her mother Silvana says she agrees with Mario but thinks if she leaves she won't be able to get rid of her (as in kill her). The you know what hits the fan when Kristel tells them she could be leaving next week if all goes as planned. She would like to be in her father's wedding though . . .

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #79. Tuesday July 5, 2016. And Now Wee Boys & Girls, Prepare Your Innocent Eyes For A Playful Session Of Torture!

Thank goodness this is a family show! Can you otherwise imagine the level of gratuitous violence and voyeuristic sadism?

Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot. 

One of Óscar’s thugs clocks Ricardo on the back of the head with a pistol butt and knocks him out. Ricardo comes to three seconds later and manages to defeat the baddies. Instead of getting his bleeding head wound looked at, Ricardo follows the fleeing thugs to a warehouse, turns off his cellphone after calling Cristina and asking her to take care of his kids, then goes in alone without calling back-up. Logic, common sense and self-preservation collectively committed suicide after this!

Resting Iván Sánchez face
At a glance

-- To put it politely: This fecal matter just got real!

A closer look

Lucio is arrested outside Casa Guerrero just as he and Matías were preparing to flee the country. Matías is distressed by the scene and keeps tearfully asking: “What’s happening, Papá?”. He bangs on the police car window and pleads with the officers not to take his daddy away because “he didn’t do anything”. Lucio reassures his son that everything is going to be alright. The poor kid continues to cry while Sara tries to console him. Yago observes the scene silently and thinks to himself: “There are moments that haunt you (perseguir) all your life and this is one of them. I know that I’ll never forget the sorrowful expression of Matías when he saw the man he thinks is his father being apprehended. I knew that my revenge would cause collateral damage (daños colaterales) but I never imagined hurting my own son”.

Tres Veces Ana #31: Murderess Most Foul and A Murder Most Fouled

Part 1:

Once again we’re ogling poor Jennifer’s descent sans benefit of parachute as Ana Leticia looks on.  (According to The Splat Calculator at a body weight of say, 120 lbs., poor Jennifer’s fall from grace was the equivalent of being hit by a car going approximately 77 mph.  ¡QEPD! )  A-Mimi, her feet back on solid ground once more, looks over her handiwork and drives off.  Ho. Hum.  And meanwhile…..

Mariano’s sexratary, Adriana, reports she’s been unable to reach his fiancée on either her cellular or at the house.  It all goes to voice mail/ the recorder.

In Orlando’s hospital room, Evaristo gives our bruised and contused Orly back his cell phone –sans any files having anything to do with Ana Lucía.  He warns our scared little   suffering shakedown artist in training that the phone can now be traced by Ev’s tracking devices and so he’ll always be able to keep tables on him and his calls.  To be certain that Orly keeps mum, he’s got his grandson there as his personal bodyguard.

At the same time, Santiago and the other architect Jen was supposed to meet with arrive at the job site.  The guy tells Santi that he understood she was engaged to be married.  Santi figures she thought he’d died or deserted her and it makes sense.  They turn towards the entrance to the building and see Jen laid and splayed like a rag doll.  Santi races over to her.  She gains consciousness momentarily.  “—It’s you!  Marcelo!!”  He has a few seconds to register that she knows him as Marcelo Salvaterra with a flashback to the visit to Iñaki’s new digs and his question to SanMarco if that name sounded familiar to him.  Well it does now!

Sueno de amor, #78 Hot stuff Ricardo Alegria in hot pursuit of an old lady with a cane



Side note:
It’s the first time I’m watching the new credits. As of now I believe Espe and Ric are still endgame, but maybe Osorio wants to do a poll or something similar, to have the audience « decide » the ending. Ha! Like anyone would care that much to actually vote…

Part 1
Crazy Tracy of the Crazy eyes arrives at Anastasia’s house. The baby is crying, so Ana hands her innocent little bundle to the lunatic who couldn't even love her own kids. Luquita better not have a long memory, being in the company of these two might scar him for life.
They start chatting about each others problems. Ana is worried about the DNA test, Tracy is worried because Ernie tried to kill her. She needs to hide from him, she’s desperate.
She further explains how Murillo chickened out at the last moment, shooting into a pillow and how he had a fake blood make-up kit in his back pocket just in case. Tracy agreed to give him all the money and jewelry that she had in exchange for her life. And now she’s dirt poor and has no place to stay. Could Ana help her ? Please ?

Yago Capitulo 28: And the World was gone

Discuss among yourselves while I work on the recap.

Ale was sitting scared in the car with Abel but Abel actually lets her go telling Ale to leave the country ASAP. Ale ran away as thunder stroke but there was no bliss in sight. Bruno getting increasingly worried messages Ale but Damian was actually at the end of the line as Ale's numb body is shown to us. Damian makes Bruno believe that Ale is still alive but in danger of persecution. Damian stomps the phone. I blinked and the World was gone

Yago is aghast with Sara defending Lucio and makes her believe that he is going to go beat up Lucio for barbecue. Yago flips at himself for falling to his meek human nature yet again. Melina calls Yago and they meet up in church for a secret religious meeting of revenge. Melina informs Yago about the missing Alejandra .Yago get's suddenly worried as Melina tells him that just before her last breath  Ale sent Bruno something about Lucio. Melina also informs Yago about Lucio being in her house. She does not want him in there but Yago wants Melina to convince Lucio in staying alas "keep your friends close and your enemies closer". Yago is sure that Melina makes a fine good convincing people so it won't be hard for her.

Sueño de amor, Ep. 77 (6.30.16) While Esperanza almost dies, Ricardo lures Cristina to his bedroom (el muerto al pozo y el vivo al gozo).

We start this episode with a visit to the precinct, where Ricardo Alegría Sandoval (ex ''secret'' agent turned teacher) and Cristina Vélez Valderrama (the firewoman of education/life guru to raped girls), are reporting to Gilberto Rentería de la Fuente (tired of seeing Ricardo's mug even in the soup), the assault she suffered in hands of her ex husband Oscar Sousa Villaurrutia (women abuser slash bastard kidnapper). Luckily for her, super duper agent and justice avenger Ricardo Alegría Sandoval was there to save her in the nick of time and now he is getting a call from Baxter Bestertester (who will probably lose his job for doing things he shouldn't be doing), who has seen Abril Sousa Vélez somewhere in Colonia del Valle.
Since the girl is alive and there's no time to lose, the couple that used to hate each other but are now reunited by the circumstances, take off to look for her, leaving the report for another time (that if the writers remember to tie this loose end, if not, they'll forget about it and will never be mentioned like happened to Instituto Vasconcelos. Have you heard from it lately?)

Baxter's pictures show the girl and then an old woman grabbing her. Could it be that Oscar has a nanny to take care of her?

Yago, #27, Wednesday 6/29/16: The Bad Penny

Hi everybody. I was at Best Buy tonight, and I saw Lucio's new smart TV. Or should I say, his ex-TV.

Fidel's having a flashback. A young man is making a quick buck challenging people to a shell game in the park. A young Fidel watches for a while and decides to play. Naturally, he loses. The next customer, a young Camilo, also loses, but does not accept his loss as gracefully as Fidel did. He pulls a knife on the cheater. Fidel comes forward and asks for the honor of the first punch. They smack the guy up, take his money, and run off. Camilo thanks Fidel for his help, and a forevermore friendship is born. Oh and they both have lucky coins. Watch those coins!

In the present, Fidel fingers a coin and tells Yago that his best friend became his worst enemy. That man was Camilo Michell. (Fidel cuts Raul's corpse loose from the chair.) "You have your own revenge to complete," Yago acknowledges. "It's time to begin," Fidel says, stuffing the coin into the dead man's pocket.

Sueño de amor #76 Wed. 6/29/16

So, here we go! I had some technical difficulties tonight. Let us just say, my recording was less than ideal.

The surgery has started. Ernesto is being supportive not just with opening his wallet but to Pato and also Pedro as his own children. They all have high hopes for Esperanza's survival.

Long hours of surgery . . . .

Pedro talks out his problems with Kristel with Ernesto. Pablo is reluctant to have any involvement with her because of the possibility of her blackmailing him using her depression and not eating.

At Margarita's house, Kristel is bemoaning her solo state without boyfriends. Her whole family cheers her and tells her how much they love her. Although smiling, on the inside Silvana is happy Kristel has ended up alone.

Yago #26. Tuesday June 28, 2016. The Pawns Are Turning Against Their King

Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot. 

Lorenzo is the one who received a bullet as a result of the scuffle with Teo. The next scene shows medical personnel scrambling to save a patient who went into cardiac arrest. Lorenzo starts narrating: Ever since he lost his father, he has been wondering how his own death would be like. Would his dad be waiting for him in the great beyond? The patient is revived. Unfortunately, it’s that old crook Damián. Young Lorenzo is well and truly dead. Abel is devastated following the loss of his vato/young man, his “keed” (kid). Teo apologizes. Abel says he is the one who failed Lorenzo. He is equally responsible for the death of Lorenzo, just as he is to blame for the death of Lorenzo's father, Facundo. Later on, when Abel and Teo prepare to bury the body in the woods, Abel removes Lorenzo’s chain, the one that once belonged to his dad. He grabs Lorenzo’s lifeless face between his hands and, fighting back the tears, he bids him farewell: “Hey kid! I hope that you’re finally going to be OK, that you will be with your Papá and that you’re finally at peace. I also hope we see each other again, somewhere, some time.” In a later scene, Abel visits Facundo’s grave to give him back his son’s chain, the chain of “their” kid. He assures him that not a day goes by where he doesn’t think about him. If there is justice in this life, Abel knows he will be punished for what he did. Getting his just deserts will be a relief for Abel. He would finally be at peace.

Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot. 

Kracy calls her kids to taunt them: Did they get a chance to see Filomena, the venomous froggy Mommy left in the house? Ricardo takes the phone away from Rodrigo and forbids Kracy to talk to his kids. He sends a text message to Baxter asking him to locate (ubicar) Kracy’s phone number. Kracy is in Mexico City, comes back Baxter’s answer, almost instantly. Kracy threatens to kill Ricardo with one shot to the forehead. After she hangs up, Ricardo phones Baxter to ask for another “favor”: Please find Cristina’s missing kid and let Tricky Ricky get all the credit and grateful nookie

Ernesto brings Esperanza flowers and accompanies her to church along with Pato and Pedro. In case you’re wondering, no, the walls didn’t bleed when the handsome devil walked into church. A two-minute praying scene to La Virgen de la Paz ensues.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #74. Monday June 27, 2016. Nothing Like A Solid Slab of Lala Cheese To Free You From These Love Pains!

Ah the joys of villana-imposed parenthood!
At a glance 

-- When lies, blackmail, guilt and murder all fail to heal heartache and lovesickness, one must turn to Lala’s delightful range of dairy delectables for comfort! Because a gassy stomach will always distract you from a broken heart!

A closer look 

Cristina crosses paths with Óscar, her abusive ex-hubby, at the shopping mall. He is going up the stairless escalator, rocking his signature salt-n-pepper quirky quiff. She is coming down the stairless escalator, slaying that nude-colored dress whose plasticky fabric hugged, nay, suffocated, her pneumatic curves. She sees Óscar’s face clearly (we don’t), recognizes him immediately and runs after him. When she finally catches up to him, it turns out he is some other dude. Two questions boggle and perplex the viewers at this point:

Yago, #25, Monday 6/27/16: "Doesn't it feel good to tell the truth?"

Hold onto your hats. When Yago characters show up for an episode, they mean business!

We begin with a memory. I hadn't yet figured out how to do captions during this part so I'm not sure exactly what was said, nor even whether it was Yago's memory or Lucio's. But Yago and Lucio are playing in Jonas's workshop, and then Lucio is getting scolded by his mother (or grandmother). Yago says Lucio should have thought twice before betraying Omar.

In the present, Lucio's had a giant smart TV delivered. What a great daddy! What a nice house full of fine things!

Alejandra/Susana and Damian/Rufino chat in Dam's car. He invites himself to her apartment, but she says no, her roommates are too nosy. Dam says congratulations, you passed my first test. Now pass my second test: give me your real name. Ale says she'll tell him hers if he tells her his. Dam says he's Oscar Bravo. (Oh, come on. And I'm Juliet Sierra! Meet my friend, Victor Whiskey X-Ray Yankee Zulu!) She says she's Felicia Requena. "Doesn't it feel good to tell the truth?" Damian asks. She gets out of the car and pretends to fumble with her keys as he drives off. Then she takes off down the street. Dam in fact only pretended to drive away; now he follows her on foot.

I don't know about all of you guys, but I struggled through today's loong episode! I am glad it's my recapping night, else I would have had to put the episode off.

Also, consolidating some scenes below, so don't be thrown off by that! 



Creepy Isidro and Rodrigo (Abue's former beau) are discussing the sale of Creesidro's lands. Creesidro did not anticipate selling that soon and wants to wait. Suddenly Ramiro appears and is introduced as Rodrigo's new accountant. Rodrigo asks Ramiro to walk Creesidro to his taxi and then return. The taxist is, as we remember, Santiago. Of course right then, the hotel doorman asks Santi to do a lap around the building and not occupy the space in front of hotel. Just as he takes the said lap, he of course misses both Ramiro and Isidro, so once again the best friend reunion is successfully avoided by the telenovela deities.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 19 (June 27, 2016) 1st Half

We left off with Fernanda conducting the inmate orchestra and playing her violin for the Directora of the Prison and various inmates who chose not to register. It sounded pretty professional. La Malquerida got to sing. She has a lovely voice. This can only result in lifting the spirits and self-esteem of the inmates. For Fernanda personally, we will have to wait and see. She has a lot of juggling--Carlos & Marissa, Amelia, Maribel, La Malquerida, Felipe. Since she told off Camila, she has no idea what has happened to our Junior lying traitor. She has no idea what Luis is up to, nor Mariana.

Glory be, the only thing grand that happened on Friday is that Pedro found Don Fernando in The Only Asylum in Mexico that needed landscaping.

There will be plenty to discuss, so carry on, Caminantes.

Tres Veces Ana #21: SHOW ME THE MONEY!


Wellllllll..it would seem that Orlando is Hell bent on cashing in on other people’s strife with his proof of life that Ana Lucia is alive!!!!!!!  He tells Ramiro he wants A-Lucky’s rich relatives to ante up antes or nothin’ doin’.  Ram feels deceived!  Well he was, says Orly.  She’s his friend and he only wanted to protect her and he was scared for her!  Ram says show me this photo or I go.  Ok.  Orly opens his phone and shows him a photo of A-Lucky at a danse class rehearsal.  Wow!  The likeness!  It’s her!  She really is alive!  Oh, and BTW, she has no memory of the accident Ram’s been talking about.  Oka, then why is she still called Ana Lucia if she doesn’t have any memory of her past?  Seems she was wearing some bracelet with her name on it.

Ok.  So, Ana-Lu is having problems concentrating on her new acrobatic project.  AniBal, aka AniBaldy, screams at her that her friend has her head on straight and so should she!  Maribel secretly smiles a contemptuous grin as Ana takes it verbally on the chin.   Later in break Bel beams at her friend and asks where she was and what’s going on inside her head.  Ana-Lu lies that Santiago took her to San Nicolas to pick up cash owed by Dona Chana.  And Orlando?  Oh, they had it out with him.  The guy’s nuts!  He sliced Santi’s 4 tires all to hell!  Just out of jealousy!  “-Tough nuts!  I’ve never led him on!”  Well, Bel left town without word cuz she was mad at the dude for ignoring her affections.  She here now with her BFF pursuing her dream!

-- The new opening credits indicate it's very likely that the insipid twosome, Cristina and Ricardo, end up together. ¡Da igual! Makes no difference!

A closer look 

It’s breakfast time at Casa Guerrero. Anastasia shows up with the wee tot in her arms. She wants him to meet his Auntie Pato, soon-to-be ex-fiancée of his father. Anastasia introduces the baby as Luca, named after his daddy, obviously. She also adds that the unlucky father has already met his Mini-Me. Pato is so shocked and saddened, she starts sobbing. Esperanza accuses Anastasia of renting the baby, as her latest ploy to separate the PatoLuca pair.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 18 (June 20, 2016) 2d Half

While we waited out the Copa America games, two poets-in-residence offered these for our diversion. Watch out for those Bread Crumbs, folks!

Luis is still nursing a grudge.
From this he never will budge.
He argues in court
'Cause he's of that sort
But won't win 'less he pays off the judge.
:
Louy is such a jerk
Who other people he loves to hurt
Surely when his time comes
He will be eating Crumbs
For others he poisons their bread
Maybe he'll be the one to eat it and be dead.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #71. Tuesday June 21, 2016. My Internet Keeps Cutting Off. It's Telling Me Not To Watch.

How do you like them guns? I got mine by drinking copious amounts of Lala Milk and living at the gym!

Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a quick summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot. 

Ricardo saves Estrella from Jabba the Hutt (whose dubbed-over voice continues to make him sound like a detergent commercial). Once again, poor Baxter does all the work and Tricky Ricky and la Virgencita get all the credit. It is worth noting that all the thugs present during Estrella's rescue were very cooperative with Ricardo. All he had to do was talk them into surrendering their guns.

Yago #23. Monday June 20, 2016. Relationship Status: It’s Yagomplicated.

At a glance  

-- Lucio pulls an elaborate stunt to verify whether Yago is Sara’s lover. To no avail. 
-- Ámbar leaves her sister’s house to go live with Yago, her love interest, who, unbeknownst to her, is her sister’s mystery boinker, that her brother-in-law is determined to find and kill.
-- Abel discovers that Sara, his best friend’s wife, is having an affair with his love rival, who happens to be the love interest of Sara’s sister, who happens to be Abel’s love interest. 
-- Katia and Teo sleep together to ease the tensions of their complicated working relationship. 

A closer look 

Flashback, Mexico City, a few years ago. Young Bruno is quarreling in the schoolyard with Young Eduardo from MEPS, in his pre-Járvar days. Bruno is accused of stealing a wallet and though he maintains his innocence, nobody is willing to believe in the word of a murderer’s brother. This insult enrages Bruno who rains blows upon his classmate. The principal interrupts the fight and reprimands Bruno for his violent and disruptive behavior. The problem teen had been expelled from several schools already, does he want to be thrown out of this one as well? asks the principal. Justice isn’t achieved through delivering punches. He hands Bruno a book by Polish journalist, Ryszard Kapuściński (1932-2007), called: “Cynics Are No Use At this Profession: About Good Journalism”. That day, Bruno discovered another way to raise his voice (alzar la voz) against injustice and to defend the truth.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #70. Monday June 20, 2016. When The Villano Is A More Reliable Galán Than The Galán

Ernesto is insanely hot: Sweet as pie with his gal but a bad motha when need be. He deserves a happy ending. Yes, I have issues.

At a glance 

-- Osorio is still regurgitating the same tired plots. Esperanza suffers. Ricardo plays vigilante (when Baxter is the real unsung hero). Ernesto melts hearts. Pato b*tches. Luca cowers. Kristel snivels. Pedro withdraws. Estrella self-sacrifices. Erasmo self-flagellates. Cristina is self-important. Silvana is pathetic. Mario is spineless. Margarita is clueless. Kracy is crazy. Kiko is the producer's son, so he gets plenty of airtime no matter what.

A closer look 

At Casa Guerrero, Pedro informs his sister that the X-rated photos starring her fiancé and his ex have gone viral. Pato throws another tantrum about Luca not calling her immediately after being notified of Anastasia’s latest stunt. It’s not like the guy has to earn a living or anything. New York or no, business trip or no, Pato expects Luca to phone her at the top of every hour to let her know what he’s doing and to marvel at her beauty, to maintain good communication. Here’s a thought, Pato: Why don’t you attach a Luca-cam to the guy’s head and follow his every movement?

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 18 (June 20, 2016) 1st Half

IS FERNANDA THE ONLY PRISONER IN THIS STORY? Think About---

Marissa - She's a prisoner of a debilitating disease and cloudy thinking

Don Fernando - He's also a prisoner of his mental deterioration and the manipulation by his elder daughter and her husband

Luis - He's a prisoner of greed, ambition and malevolence

Mariana and Hernan - They are in the same prison as Luis, with a little envy and jealousy thrown in the mix

Camila - She is a prisoner of her upbringing: unloved, unappreciated, a tool of her father

Isabela - She is a prisoner of her Hair and an uncontrolled obsession with Carlos

Amelia - She's been in a prison of her own making; bitter and longing for her former life, although she may get out on parole

Pedro - He's a prisoner of his own stubbornness and the inability to see how his goodness and protectiveness hurts the ones he loves

Carlos - He's a prisoner of telenovela plots, conventional set-ups, chicanery and skullduggery committed by others

Tres Veces Ana #23: OVER THE MOON BY THE LAGOON


Who’ll be the first over the moon?  Let us see…..

Ana Laura says “Sí” but balks at being bedded before being wedded.  Her leg of lead stops them dead.  They head home instead, while most of the family are filled with dread that down the wrong road Ramiro has A Lloro led.

Meanwhile, Ana Lucia and Santiago drive back to the place where it all began for them.  They promise each other they’ll never love another.  A mistaken Evaristo tells Mama Solidad that they’re more than likely saying their good-byes cuz he’s on his way to somewhere that ensures they’ll never see hide nor hair of each other again.

Sueño de amor, Ep. 69 (6.16.16) Believe it or not: Everybody is sleepless in Sueñolandia

¡Paradójico! ¡Nadie tiene sueño en Sueñolandia!

Midnight confessions
(brought to you by ZzzQuil)

Is midnight in Sueñolandia and the sandman failed to show up, so everybody is awake...

Mario came looking for Leche Lala and found Salma, so they had a picnic inside the refrigerator while discussing the love life of the teenager. Hashtag Ladyconfundida2 or #Ladyembarazada. Her guilt is keeping her awake because she is expecting a baby from the boy she loves and he despises her while there's another boy who loves her but she dispises him. Well, it runs in the family, Mario himself was confundido once dating Pánfila, or whats her name? Felícitas, only to make her loose her job and disappear from the face of the earth. Now he loves Viviana but who knows? Silvana is coming back, and the writers are crazy, so I wouldn't bet much on it. 

#Lordconfundido
Erasmo only had yesterday's stale tortillas but Kiko wanted to talk while Estrella prayed to both her mother and the Virgen de la Paz so she could avoid going to Tamaulipas with Sansón. Their impossible loves are keeping them awake, and to make matters worst, now Erasmo will have to work in three different places just to pay the interest of the interest of his loan. If only poor people were not this stoopid, they could manage their economics better. later on, when both guys are fast asleep, she writes her ''goodbye letter''

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 17 (June 13, 2016) 2nd Half

#FREEFERNANDA
Who holds the key to Fernanda’s freedom? Will it be Ignacio, Camila, Carlos, Don Fernando, Amelia, Pedro, Felipe or…wait for it, Javier? Yes, Javier will no doubt come back into the picture. He was only supposed to be gone a short time. Pedro is living in his house, for heaven’s sakes. It would be hard to believe Javier didn’t leave a way to contact him while he’s been away. Pedro can’t be so stupid or blind not to let him know what happened to Fer. Indeed, Pedro had the hopes that Fernanda would turn her eyes on Javier, a wholesome, successful and acceptable mate, even though Javier himself saw it was a hopeless situation.

Yago, #21, Wednesday 6/15/16: Yago Strikes Again

We meet Camilo at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in front of a tall building. (He's the ribbon-cutter.) He tells us that playing God is addictive. One way to keep power is to use people's fear against them. Power is like a muscle: you have to keep using it in order to stay strong. If you don't use your power, it weakens.

Camilo meets his goons (including Tomas Vargas, the loan shark) on the roof of the building. He asks who let the kid get away. As the guilty party begs for his life, Camilo orders one of his other goons, a man called El Chino, shoot him in the head. Chino protests weakly, but complies. Then Camilo orders Chino to jump off the roof. Chino protests a little more strongly. Camilo holds up a photo of Chino's wife, Jesusa. Camilo says that if Chino doesn't fall off the roof, they'll rape and torture his wife to death. Chino jumps off the roof.

Sueño de amor #68 Wed. 6/15/16

It seems soooo long ago but we left with Cristina deciding to accept the job at the Instituto Palacios and asking Mr. Snoop Ricardo to leave.

At the family court office, Ricardo hands over a psychological evaluation that was done on him about six months ago to the judge. She says she will look it over. She asks if he has the "proof" he has told her about. He does not have those videos yet. He will be sending them to her and they will prove he never touched Tracy. He thanks her for the time and consideration she has given him. His case is interesting to her because she wants to protect his children and she can see that his children do love him which is the opposite of Tracy's claims. She wants all of the information as clear as possible.

Margarita and Kristel go to visit Silvana at the jail. Surprise! Surprise! Silvana's demeanor is totally changed as part of the "true revenge" plan as suggested by La Tuerta (Ole One Eye). Silvana is crying and asking for their forgivenes. She even kisses their hands and lets them "pet" her head like a dog but nothing has changed. She has successfully deceived them with her "pity me" and "mea culpa" act. In reality, Silvana thinks they are just as stupid as ever.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 17 (Jun 13, 2016) 1st Half

NOTICE: No Camino on Monday, June 13

We will have to wait until Tuesday to see how Fernanda’s trial goes. With Felipe defending her instead of Ordoñez, anything can happen. Can anything save her from prison? If Camila goes along with Mariana and Hernán, she will lose Fernanda as a friend forever, but gain her father’s approval (temporarily, probably). If she doesn't and backs Fernanda, her father's wrath comes down on her and Mariana reverts to her venomous reptilian persona. Since Camila hurt Fer at the end of Friday's episode telling her Carlos won't show up because he took his mother to Houston and he's with Ickzzy--his only real love, this does not bode well for the friendship.

Don Fernando is a lost cause to testify in favor of Fernanda. He's too befuddled. As Delilah pointed out, he doesn't even look good in his clothes.

Things look bleak before the trial even gets under way.

While we wait, let’s speculate—why, when Fernanda is faced with serious prison time, won’t Pedro or Amelia just let loose with their not so very dirty secret to Luis….and Fernanda. (Thank you, Diana, for the idea.)

Tres Veces Ana #19: The Facade de Bondad Starts Cracking




Three Facades de la Bondad

Ana Laura's answer to Ana Leticia's declaration that Uncle Mariano is hers and can never be Jennifer's is met with a plea for Lemmee to get professional help.  (Yeah, like when has she ever listened to anybody but herself, ever?)

Meanwhile, Ramiro's credit and cards are blocked and locked.  (Does it make sense staying in a high class hotel then, when he knows ol' Papi-cock has cut him off?  Dude deserves what he gets.  He ain't smart enough to live long, but we know he will.)  He goes to The Realty Place to at least give Uncle Mo the 411 on Ana Lucia.  Unfortunately for him, Lemmee sees and latches onto him first; she taunts him and then when Mo enters the area, slaps the shit outta Rami and calls him fresh.  Info is all a no go, and Mo gives him the heave ho.......Damn! Is Ramiro slow!

Yago, #20, Friday 6/10/16: Congratulations! It's a Boy!

Flashback: Sara is looking at the positive result on her pregnancy test and thinking that she isn’t cut out to be a mother. She never played with dolls or played house as a child and didn’t grow up with a mother’s love. She doesn't think she can be a better parent than her father was to her. Now Mati is paying for her sins.

She goes to prison to tell Omar he’s going to become a father, but then changes her mind and leaves.

She goes to Chela, her old landlady, to take her to the abortion clinic. She doesn’t feel anything for this child and doesn’t want to have it. Chela urges Sara to take a few days to think about it, but Sara wants to get it over with.

Before the procedure can begin, the technician does an ultrasound. When Sara hears the baby’s heartbeat, she changes her mind... and brings the ultrasound picture to Lucio. "We’re going to have a baby!" Lucio is over the moon.

Weekend Activity: The Televisa Remake Game (Classic Movies Edition)


In the last week I've been watching some great classic movies, so I've decided to revive something we had fun with in the past, The Televisa Remake Game. The rules:

  • Pick a classic movie, any genre.  Title translation optional.
  • Give your dream cast for the Televisa Remake you would produce.  Actors currently under contract to Telemundo are also invited to the casting call.  Although most or all character names would be changed into Spanish ones, use the original character names for clarity.
  • Make note of any minor changes to setting, character relationships, etc.
  • Comment on any previously posted project.
  • Have fun!
